Abstract

The magnetic pinning properties of a ferromagnet/superconductor hybrid structure consisting of a La0.7Sr0.3MnO3(LSMO) layer with various thicknesses on top of a fixed thickness YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) layer are investigated in this article. The existence of a weakly magnetic layer was identified at the interface between YBCO and LSMO by a ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) study. Magnetic moment and anisotropy of the interfacial layer were probed using the angular-dependent FMR study. This layer gives rise to an additional flux pinning contribution to the bulk magnetic pinning from the LSMO layer. Our study provides insight into the complex interface physics in the LSMO/YBCO bilayer system, promoting a new pathway for the development of novel flux pinning-related functionality.
